The relationship of satisfaction with life to personality characteristics
1Department of Psychology, University of Western Sydney, Macarthur.
Abstract:
We administered a self-report questionnaire to 1,749 adult Australians between 17 and 40 years old to examine the predictive values of self-esteem, depression, locus of control, trait anger, religiosity, psychological reactance, and age in relation to life satisfaction. Results of independent regression analyses showed that all but psychological reactance were significant predictors of life satisfaction. In the stepwise analysis, self-esteem, depression, trait anger, locus of control, and religiosity were significant, and together accounted for 26.3% of the total variance of life satisfaction. In both the stepwise and independent analyses, self-esteem and depression affected levels of satisfaction more than any other variables.
